When fresh garlic is not an option, we recommend this convenient product as an excellent substitute. Picked at the peak of freshness, Fresh at Hand herbs and spices are washed and cut before being flash-frozen and vacuum dried, a process which preserves nearly 100% of the original color, aroma and flavor. When used during cooking or when combined with water, Fresh at Hand products re-hydrate instantly, with the taste of flavor and freshness that had previously only been available in fresh-picked herbs.
